Description

Currently it is hardcoded in flume shell script:

MASTERPID=${FLUME_PID_DIR:="/tmp"}/flumemaster.pid
.....

MASTER_WATCHDOG="java ${JOPTS} -Dpid=$$ -Dpidfile=$MASTERPID $WATCHDOG_CLASS"
MASTERI_WATCHDOG="java ${JOPTS} -Dpid=$$ -Dpidfile=$MASTERPID $WATCHDOG_CLASS"

NODE_WATCHDOG="java ${JOPTS} Dpid=$$ -Dpidfile=${FLUME_PID_DIR}/flumenode$$.pid $WATCHDOG_CLASS"
NODEI_WATCHDOG="java ${JOPTS} Dfwdstdin=true -Dpid=$$ -Dpidfile=${FLUME_PID_DIR}/flumenode$$.pid $WATCHDOG_CLASS"
